Fine to try.

Groom the open task pool goal by goal: see everything under each quarter goal, confirm doubtful goal links, retire what has gone stale, and mark what gets picked up first when that goal earns week-time. Use when the user says 'groom my backlog', 'what's under this goal', 'my tasks are a swamp', 'clean up my tasks', or when open tasks have piled up untouched. Not for routing new inbox items; use `triage`. Not for setting the week's priorities; use `week-plan`.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'goal-backlog' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'goal-backlog' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named goal-backlog already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/davekilleen/Dex' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'd759c3a0e91e617d1bd879dc449d6d61681b90fb' -- 'packages/dex-agent-plugin/skills/goal-backlog' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'packages/dex-agent-plugin/skills/goal-backlog' ~/.agents/skills/'goal-backlog' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'goal-backlog' ~/.claude/skills/'goal-backlog' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
